Dwight Cant Be Serious Complaining About Touches

[William Bassington]

Here are the FACTS

He has a career average of 11.2 FGA, he's averaging 10.7 this season
So when he talks about sharing the ball, its confusing because he's had 3 season in Orlando where he averaged even less shots per game.

the only thing down is his FG% and his FT%

so Dwight is getting his touches


lets dead that narrative right now

How bout we just dead this thread altogether?

What, the other 6 Dwight Howard/Laker threads on the first page wasn't enough?

Lakers are not a factor. Accept this. Lottery bound hoes is what you are.

Touches stat = what the game's been missing

He is NOT getting the touches he got in Orlando where the ball ran through him exclusively and he could pick and choose his spots. The Lakers are using him more like a back to the basket center that has to put it up every time he gets the ball inside.

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

Yea but he's getting Kobe system touches: ie missed Kobe shots that ricocheted into Dwight's hands, or Kobe airballs that Dwight catches and Kobe wants counted as assists.

yea he is, he just getting peeled

 

[OG Talk]

He's not complaining for himself... He asking for touches for Pau and Nash, who are too scared to ask for themselves because they fear confrontation with Black folks...

You don't watch games. Orlando played inside out all the time. The ball regularly went to Dwight in the middle so he could wait for the defense to collapse and kick out. If they didn't collapse, he could go up for an easy score.

In the Lakers offense, he has to try to go up with it almost every time but he still has one of his lowest FGA totals ever. Pau is at his lowest. Nash is at his lowest as a starter. Yet Kobe is throwing it up like it's 2006, he's averaging around 27 shots a game since Nash came back. But yeah, the other guys are all getting their usual touches

the looks count.. getting 5 passes while heavy traffic is not the same as getting 3 passes with a clean look + 2 passes on heavy traffic..

and with Kobe, no one knows when the pass will come.. he just might pull 40+ shots


it's simple.. and anyone with half a sens should have figured it out well before they started this season..

the Kobe system, does not go well with the Dwight system..

while bynum was still a pup.. yeah.. that would work...

but with a star like Howard, to watch his market share depelte because your playing with a ball hogger..not gonna work..

on a different note.. yo Kobe is BALLIN this year.. dude is top 10 so far this year.. with the right team, he would be top 3..

Ive watched every game but 1, so shut that shyt up.

he shot less shots back in 09, , so shut that shyt up

You make it sound as if Dwight creates offense for others, when he has never even averaged 2 assist a game, he's just the product of a fitting system, thanks to SVG...teams dont even have a reason to double Dwight at this point, he cant hold onto to the ball and his weak post game has been exposed

Pau is shooting 41% and is playing the worst he has in years, he doesnt deserve more shots

and Steve just wont shoot, his shot attempts have dropped by 1 or more the last 4 years, shyt he only averaging a shot less than he did last year and he playing with more scorers.. he has ample opportunity to shoot, but he rather pass

I notice you conveniently left out how Metta is shooting more shots than he has the last 3 years...

 

[wild100sboy]

this Dwight and Lakers thing is not goin how anyone expected it to I thought they were gonna be killin. I still have a feelin they will get their act together at some point though.

 

[Miggs]

Cant put Nash into this equation because he doesnt want the shot,he could easily shoot 12-13 times a game if he wanted,he'd rather defer...

Bynum had his best year last year and saw his market share soar after playing with Kobe the ballhog...Bynum still got off 13 shots a game, only difference is he doesnt get peeled and has a nice post game...

if Dwight wasnt getting ripped so much maybe he can get more shots up

Kobe also felt more at ease feeding Bynum, knowing he could create his on own offense, hold the ball, and make ft's if it came down to it

if Dwight not dunking at close range, or being set-up by another player, he aint shyt

dude numbers soared specially while Kobe was injured.., he was putting high numbers,

honnestly Bynum is a Role Player, he knows how to play with Kobe because his role was to pick up what Kobe dropped..

Howard was a Key player.. he is used to the offense running through him..

if he cuts... he gets the ball.. not get ready for a rebound..

and i am pretty sure.. like Hoaward.. Dwight is now seeing his career might be in jeopardy...having to wrestle 3 dudes a night so Kobe can get the looks that Kobe wants...
